Default New taillights

I installed some new taillights on my 95 accord. After they were installed, the brake lamp light on my dash turned on. All the new brake lights and blinkers are still working though. How do you reset the brake lamp light on my dash??

I don't believe you can. That comes up as a result of a system check, every time the key is in.

then that is the reason. leds use less power to run and the car is noticing the power difference and is saying the light is out. toi fix this you need to install some resistors to compensate for the extra power. the best way is to find the ohms of the stock tail light and then find the ohms on the led tails. them figure what size resistor(s) are needed and wire them in.
